Earth Day

So the we have been talking for the last few months with the kids about doing things to save money, energy and making the most of our time together. A couple of weeks ago when we were at the Library checking out books for our garden and other fun craft things, I came across a book on pioneer living. Randomly I checked it out knowing that I would read over it with the kids within our month checkout time. But we found a really great time to read it. On earth day they all decided that they wanted to turn out the lights/tv's etc for the day. So when it came to the evening we got out the candles and they were all talking about it being like "the old times" so we sat together and read through the pioneer days. They really enjoyed it. We are going to try and take 1 day a week having lights out! To play games, read etc. by candlelight as a family. Will be fun!
